About DexMedia
Dex Media East was formed as a result of the August 2002 sale of Qwest's directory publishing business in Colorado, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and El Paso, Texas to the private equity firms of Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe and The Carlyle Group. The sale of Qwest's remaining directory publishing business in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming is expected to close during Q3-2003 (which would complete the transaction and bring the company's entire publishing operations under Dex Media). The company's directories and other services will continue to be marketed under the QwestDex brand name upon completion of the sale.
